| JKSHRC chairman Justice A M Mir resigns | | | Srinagar, July 31 Jammu and Kashmir State Human Rights Commission Chairman Justice (retd) A M Mir today resigned from his post citing "growing human rights violations" and "non-seriousness" of the state government on the issue as the reason behind the decision.
"Right from the day of assuming charge, government has not been serious about the working of this institution. I informed the government from time to time about the difficulties faced in effective running of the commission but to no avail," Mir told reporters after putting in his papers.
He claimed the growing human rights violations in the state and his inability to play a positive role in curbing them were the other major reasons for his decision to resign.
"I was working under the burden of my conscience," he added.
Mir said he had taken up with state Law Minister Muzaffar Hussain Baig the issues faced by the commission and sought his help in rescuing the institution from a "slow but steady death." |
